    Kofu (甲府, Kōfu) is the largest city and capital of Yamanashi Prefecture. The city is located in a large natural basin surrounded by mountains on four sides with Mount Fuji in the south. The region receives substantial amounts of sunshine, and this has contributed to its accolade as the birthplace and center of Japanese wine production.
    The Kofun period is named after the tomb mounds that were built for members of the ruling class during this time. The practice of building sepulchral mounds and burying treasures with the dead was transmitted to Japan from the Asian continent about the third century A.D.
    Today the area contains various wineries open to the public, many of which offer tours and wine tasting. Kofu and the surrounding areas are also known for fruits, with grapes being an especially famous local product.
